Obituary.i

JAMES BIRD, M.D., F.R.C.P., F.R.C.S.

WE regret to have to record the decease of Dr. James Bird,late Physician- General to the Bombay Army, and Lecturer onMilitary Surgery and Tropical Medicine and Hygiene at St.Mary’s Hospital. His death took place on the 10th instant, atthe age of sixty seven. Dr. Bird had long retired from theservice, but his mind was by far too active and his zeal toogreat to allow him to spend in idleness the time of retirement.He was a man of great energy and fine physique, and took thewarmest interest in all that concerned State medicine and thehealth of armies. In 1862 he was Lettsomian Lecturer onPublic and Private Hygiene at the Medical Society of London,of which he was also vice-president and treasurer, taking anactive interest in its affairs. Dr. James Bird was a greatauthority on military medicine and surgery and militaryhygiene, and we published in THE LANCET of 1855 some im.portant lectures from him on these subjects. He was foreignsecretary for India of the Epidemiological Society, and a zealoussupporter of that useful body. Dr. Bird was much esteemedas an adviser by the medical and military authorities of thearmy, and his advice was often taken on matters of imperialimportance. His contributions to current literature on hisfavourite subjects of military medicine and general hygienewere numerous and valuable. He leaves many friends, whoadmired his character and respected his powers of mind.

GEORGE ELLIOT, EsQ., M.R.C.S. ENG.THE sudden death of this veteran surgeon, at Aspatria,

Cumberland, on the 16th inst., in the sixty-eighth year of hisage, from cerebral apoplexy, has thrown a melancholy gloomover the whole surrounding district. Mr. Elliot began hismedical career in Edinburgh in the time of Munroe andHamilton, completed his course of study under Abernethy,Blizard, and Home, and took the membership of the LondonCollege of Surgeons in 1815. For nearly half a century he wasactively engaged in the practice of his profession—always athis post, always to be found ; and, strange to record, duringforty long years of that period he never took a holiday. - Hisperseverance, energy, and punctuality, high mental perceptivepowers, with a rich store of progressive professional knowledge,and his genuine uprightness of heart, characterized by a richvein of Cumbrian humour, gained him a name and a famesecond to none in the county. He will never be forgotten, forhe was universally beloved. He was a noble specimen of thathard-toiling class of medical men-country practitioners.
